nGuard

nGuard is a privately held, security-only services firm offering a broad menu of offensive and defensive engagements: network, wireless, web application, database, and physical penetration testing; social engineering assessments; vulnerability assessments; and ongoing managed security monitoring. Rather than a product company, nGuard functions as an outside security team that mid-market organizations engage for point-in-time testing or continuous monitoring without building an in-house red team or 24/7 SOC.

Founded in 2002 and headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, nGuard has operated for over two decades as a boutique provider, offering more than 25 distinct assessment service types. The company markets its staff’s combined security experience and breadth of testing capability as its core differentiator.

As a privately held firm, nGuard does not disclose funding, revenue, or customer counts, and no independent third-party case studies, analyst coverage, or certifications beyond staff credentials were found in public sources. It is best understood as a long-running regional MSSP and pentest shop rather than a technology innovator.
